Heya...
The ribs protect the lungs and expand as you inhale to fascillitate space for the lungs to expand like the diaphragm. The ribs then contract expelling the air in the lungs.
Altogether now: The diaphragm relaxes and expands downward into the abdominal cavity as the ribs relax to also expand for an increase in air space for the lungs to take in O2. The ribs and diaphragm then contract to expel the CO2 and waste products from the de-oxygenated gases as you exhale.
